The new trend is... A clean face
For the face, the no makeup look is about achieving a great base that needs minimal touching up. After all, your handy foundation is only meant to even out the skin where needed; imagine not needing it at all?! The easiest way to achieve this is to have a really great skincare system that is consistent and supportive of your lifestyle. The new trend in skincare for the face is towards simple, easy to use products. With a base of ingredients that are easy to understand for everyone. Multi use products are also key, with a new generation of cleansing wipes paving the way for skincare that cleanses, tones and moisturises all in one!
Natural skincare has been a booming buzzword for facecare, and is now a huge focus for bodycare as well. The big call for more awareness with skincare ingredients has lead to great innovations in skincare, such as creating natural based product lines which use active natural ingredients. Aveeno’s Daily Moisturising Lotion uses Collodial Oatmeal, an ingredient known to soothe extra aggravated skin, relieve dry skin and provide ample moisture.

The New Trend Is: Holistic Skincare
Whilst in the past, a skin flare up would be covered with foundation, or a little itchiness soothed with some chemical laden cream, the big push at the moment is towards holistic skincare. This takes into account all those things that are happening around you, the idea is that with a great skincare regime, a good diet, exercise and plenty of water, the last thing you will want to do is cover your gorgeous skin with any kind of makeup!
